Easter Outfits

With Easter being on the same Sunday as General Conference this year and our family getting sick the weekend after that, the boys weren't able to wear their Easter vests until a couple Sundays ago. Jackson was being so silly and doing the funniest poses and faces.

This was probably the best part of taking pictures of the boys. While I was taking pictures of Andersen, Jackson was getting in the way of the camera so Andersen grabbed his hair. Jackson screamed like a little girl while Andersen obviously was loving it. Here he is caught in the action...
And right afterwards... Andersen is still laughing!

Easter 2010

With Easter being on Conference Sunday this year, we waited until the boys got home from Priesthood that night before to color eggs. Jackson and Nana made sure every one had their own egg. He was so proud of his eggs!
Here are the boys Easter morning right before they got to go see their Easter baskets.
Andersen's first Easter... He obviously doesn't know what Jackson is so excited about and is just relaxing. He is such a mellow little boy!

And then the egg hunt begins


And this is what Jackson has been doing since... riding his scooter all around the house. I can't wait for warm weather so all his birthday and Easter toys can go outside.
Andersen also enjoying his Easter toys.

HAPPY EASTER BOYS!!

Jackson turned 3!!

Jackson's birthday was Monday, March 29th. With Nana's Sunday tradition, we started Jackson's birthday Sunday night. Nana and Grandpa Paul, Chase and Tia all joined at our house to have dinner and do a few presents. Thanks to Uncle Chase, Jackson got the best present first! Jackson had no idea what it really was, he just knew it had something to do with Spiderman. After he opened all his presents the boys went outside to let Jackson play with his new bat and ball. I was told to set up "Spiderman" so it was ready when he came back inside.
Here is the video of what happened right as he walked back inside...



A couple squirts later Andersen was covered in silly string
With Nate having work all day on Jackson's actual birthday and school all night, we met up with Nana and Grandpa Paul at McDonald's for lunch and came home to open our presents to Jackson really fast during Nate's lunch break.
Two days later, the party continues. Jackson LOVES Chuck e Cheese so we celebrated there with his friends and some more family. Here is Nana and Jackson already to go!
Jackson absolutely loves his Uncle Chase and Tia is starting to come in at a close second. They were big little kids all night with Jackson and helped him play games and win a bunch of tickets.
Jackson latest obsession is Baseball, so all of his birthday revolved around it. He got a new baseball bat, tee, bunch of balls, glove and even a baseball field cake and cupcake balls.

This is Jackson's highlight of his whole birthday. He was so excited to see "Chuck"... (Or that is what Jackson thinks his name is) When he came out of the back room Jackson was one of the first kids to see him and yelled "Chuck" and ran up to him to give him a big hug! He wouldn't leave his side and wanted to hold his hand forever.
Do you think this boy had a fun birthday? By the frosting all over his face, tokens leftover in his cup to play games, and still smiling after 4 hours at Chuck E Cheese... I would say a definite YES!
This little guy had fun as well with all the lights, people, and music, but just couldn't take the 4 hours of this place.
But the real question is... Who had more fun, the Dads or the kids?? The answer is the MOMS, because the Dads had all the kids occupied with playing games. Thanks to all our friends that came and celebrated Jackson's party with us!
